As a novice grinder - sounds ok to me.

It could do with a graphic to brighten things up.

You really must add the meta tags so that Google et al will put it higher
in the list.
<head>
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
   <meta name="Author" content=" ...... ">

Google hardly uses meta tags at all, and the same goes for the other 
SEs. They really are of limited value. Content and inbound links are 
used to a much greater degree to determine rank.

The FAQ actually does very well on Google, mainly because of the vast 
number of inbound links.

Random comments.
Some just things that jar when I read them, some speakos.

I'd lose the 'also' in the second paragraph.
And the plurals on bars, sheets, angles.
I'd add "However, using diamond disks to cut or shape metals (especially 
steel) will rapidly destroy them", a the end of the "disks" section.

"they will also deliver", replace with "and".
"On the budget tools", lose "the".
"maybe" = "may be"
"quality tools also", lose "also"
"his highly" = "is highly"
"expect to get" = "get"
"use of an" = "use an"
"you will also" ="will also"

Nice to know I can speak bollox as well as I can write it!  ;-)

(was trying a new headset without retraining the sw, looks like that is 
not going to work)

I have found that a general purpose diamond blade (costing as much as the
tool iteself) works on metal aswell. Better speed of cut (probably because
the blade is thinner). Stays at full depth because the blade does not wear
away and out lives at least it's cost in abrasive discs.

Is that the discs that are readily available? The diamond ones I got said
masonry only. Will they work safely on metal?

Can you define 'metal' ?
Steel is problematic for diamond - as it makes higher carbon steel dust,
and little else, as I understand it.
Of course, practical results beat theort.

I did think of that as I wrote it, but never having used one I could not 
think of much to say other than "they are available". Anyone who has 
used one care to comment on their use?
